WESTCHESTER, Ill. -

IAA made another move on Wednesday to reinforce its European operations.

The company announced that it has secured ground for the construction of a new full-service facility in Bristol, located in the southwest region of the United Kingdom.

IAA said through a news release that the additional capacity resulting from the new location will help to meet growing demand in the region.

“The Bristol branch demonstrates IAA’s strong, ongoing commitment to investing in the UK market,” IAA UK managing director Steve Hankins said in the news release. “The new facility will reduce the miles driven by our trucks and help to reduce our environmental impact.

“This state-of-the-art branch will be vital to meeting the needs of both our current and future customers,” Hankins continued about the facility that will be located at Severn Road, Chittening, Avonmouth, BS11 0YU.
